Large-Eddy Simulation of Supersonic Cavity Flowfields Including Flow Control

Large-eddy simulations of supersonic cavity flowfields are performed using a high-order numerical method. Spatial derivatives are represented by a fourth-order compact approximation that is used in conjunction with a sixth-order nondispersive filter. The scheme employs a time-implicit approximately factored finite difference algorithm, and applies Newton-like subiterations to achieve second-order temporal and fourth-order spatial accuracy. The Smagorinsky dynamic subgrid-scale model is incorporated in the simulations to account for the spatially underresolved stresses. Computations at a freestream Mach number of 1.19 are carried out for a rectangular cavity having a length-to-depth ratio of 5:1. The computational domain is described by 2.06×10 7 grid points and has been partitioned into 254 zones, which were distributed on individual processors of a massively parallel computing platform. Active flow control is applied through pulsed mass injection at a very high frequency, thereby suppressing resonant acoustic oscillatory modes
